Our team of experts offers comprehensive care for men suffering from urinary issues caused by prostate enlargement (also known as BPH). We specialize in advanced endoscopic techniques such as holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) and have the most extensive experience with this procedure on the West Coast. Other available options include UroLift, Rezum, and robotic-assisted laparoscopic simple prostatectomy. We employ a detail-oriented approach to understand our patients’ symptoms, prostate size, and other clinical factors to recommend the most effective and suitable options for each patient.
